这是一篇演讲稿，爱玛希克斯为了学生会选举而呼吁大家给她投票。她对学校了解，有好的点子，善于沟通交流而且人可信诚实。

1.

句意：自从7岁我就进了这个学校因此我在意这儿发生的一切。

hear听到；care关心，在意；argue争吵；explain解释。根据“a lot about”可知此处用动词短语care about表示“在意”。故选B。

2.

句意：我认为我们可以一起做一些改变使每个人受益。

changes改变；notes笔记；effort努力；progress进步。根据“Have you ever wondered what PE lessons would be like if the equipment we had was even better”可知此处讲的是做一些改变，用名词changes。故选A。

3.

句意：那么如果你将要选择把你在学校筹集的钱如何花费？

show展示；realize意识到；find发现；choose选择。根据后文“I plan to arrange new and exciting fundraising opportunities and then ask you – the children – what we should spend our money on to make sure we have the best equipment possible”可知此处提问是询问如何选择花费钱的问题。故选D。

4.

句意：我擅长和成年人谈话，从我的学校报告就可以看出来。

afraid of害怕；good at擅长；worried about担心；responsible for负责任。根据“I have lots of friends and I talk to lots of people”可知此处指的是擅长和成年人打交道，用be good at。故选B。

5.

句意：另外，我是值得信任的和诚实的。

for example例如；in brief简要地说；in addition另外；on the other hand另一方面。根据“I am trustworthy and honest”可知是对上文讲述的个人的良好品质的进一步说明，用in addition。故选C。

6.

句意：我已经解释了为什么我肯定是这个职位的最好候选人。

finally最后；directly直接地；mainly主要地；certainly肯定地。这是演讲的结尾，总结了前文内容再一次肯定地说明自己就是这个职位的候选人，用副词certainly。故选D。
